Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Those lines are 100% mine. They are hard to stay away from, that’s it in a nutshell. There are so many great musicians out there, some bands even have followings, though they never got a record deal. It wasn’t wasted music some people loved it, that is making it in a way. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I think that line was mine, it could have been, Joey’s. The verses are where I’m definite. lol. I was tired of these words sitting on a hard drive, so I did something about it. lol. A wise friend of mine once said “Work is meant to be shared, to be read and heard.” I might have paraphrased a bit. lol. Thank you, Fia. I think your influence has made me see that clearly. Always learning, I am. Appreciate you.

“she’s got eyes that mystify
makes you wanna take a chance
she’s the spider, yeah you’re the fly
caught up in a web of circumstance…”I’m totally feeling those lines right there. I will say, I’ve known a few dudes like this…might have dated a couple. This is a killer song, my friend!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. Unfortunately, I’m unable to talk about the song for a moment. But it will be resolved. Appreciate you.

Read More"I think I'm dying".I don't remember which one of usnoticed it, said it, first.-As I picked at the scabson my knuckles,from fighting my almost stepdad.You told me to stop, and thathe was gone.I guess I ran him off. But we sat there, you and Ias the sun burned the blue away.I used to like blue,but my preference turned to dark red.At least a deep orange,a few months back.When puberty opened the drapesand reality invited itself in.But I wasn't ready. Wasn't ready when youtook off your top, andlaid it underneath you,on the grass.Not grabbing my bloody hand, butthe other one, andset it on your chest.-Never felt another heartbeat before.I guess I knew it wasn't rare. But this, a first, soit was still a once in my lifetime.And maybe there will never be another. Incurable, each of our doctorshad told us. Well, toldour mothers first.Who then let us know.Yours, while you sat after dinner.She cried through it, grabbing dishesand wiping her snot and tearswith her sleeve.Mine, told me in the parking lotof the doctor's office,never turned her head.I just watched the roadand silently picked out carsthat we should ram. Here, upon the grass,at least now we wouldn't die virgins.I tried to cover up in the after,but you asked me, don't.So we laid there, as sacrifices,for the bullshit godsto claim us. You believed in some sortof a heaven. I didn't.For all we knew, perhapsour bodies will break downand we'll turn into batches of fireflies.Or, you, butterflies. I got hungry, so wemade our way to the mostconvenient store.Split a soda and some chips.Salted lips; Your kisswas the ocean I may never taste. Almost light brown, now, the sunshrouded itself across the dying day.A blanket, atop an earthern corpse,to disguise the loss as a horizon.So few notice.It looked like an iron panof burnt grease.Day old, like us now. So much, then, for adolescence. ~~~

Hey Joe, whats cookin!
I’ve been a busy guy for a bit. All good stuff, except work days can be brutal.
I haven’t written much, either. But I don’t want to get stale at it. So, this.
Thank you, for the acknowledgement. I’m still trying to make it all interesting.-

All is going well, Damian. I actually left work early today, to get this write solid, after I had been jotting down little bits of it while working.
I do try to make my writes worth it, to a reader. Maybe even they can find some motivation from it, as I do from much of what I read.
I will catch up more in here soon. Crazy days lately for me. But I intend on being more frequent here now.-

Cool, brother. Appreciate you.

Hey big sexy!
I love when you dive right into all of the feels.
The opening stanza about fighting your stepdad. Making the battle personal. Then following that theme throughout the write. Getting inside of that fighter/lover mind of yours! I’m excited you posted. It’s like you open the door into how your mind works. What a gift:)I loved it!

I’ve been neglecting my creative side a bit too much the past couple of months, as you know. So I was due.
And hey, its all about you right now! My accomplished, published writer! What!
I have a few gifts, none more valuable than you…

Hello Adira!
This is basically a coming of age piece or prose. I didn’t want it to be too basic, so I had to add my bit of spin of course.
The only thing dying in the write is their childhood.
As for you, writing is the best therapy that there is. As you’ve discovered. So release your demons and ails to the literary world, and be healthy. Yeah? -

What’s with the back of the head avatar! Man, show the world your brave face! Lol.
Thanks Paulo. I live my writes before they ever get into actual writing. Im good at visuals, which makes the writing much more fluid I think.
Good to see you here, btw. We need your talent.

Goddamn Mark
I love the flow of this piece.
You’re still firing on all cylinders.
Since the DUP demise I’ve hardly written at all. I thought it would have been an easier transition but it’s been anything but.
Life gets in the way but it was a thrill to read you again.Amazing storytelling
Congrats
BIG LIKE ( yeah, that still works)

Well I have to stay relevant where ever I post. LOL. Sometimes when I read a few pieces from others, it motivates me to break out of the rust. I really am a product of my environment in writing sites.
Thanks dude, for staying relevant as well!

Your storytelling is always the perfect mix of detail and mystery. It’s nice to be back here after several months away, if only to read you! I don’t know if I’ll manage to stop in more frequently or not going forward… but knowing you’re still around is definitely motivating. I do love your writing.

Ah yes, the wicked women all men must watch out for. I’ve seen her and avoided the web though it was hard being they usually look so good and irresistible. Men’s will must be strong.
I like the entire thing and its message. I’d love to hear the music to it. It makes me ponder all the great bands out there that will probably never be heard.
